Not forced labor agriculture?? More like heavily subsidized agriculture. Never said anyone would be forced into working agriculture. Im sure with good pay, health benefits, and maybe college tuition many people would highly consider an opportunity like that.
What would be the benefits of having agriculture production in every county? Idk man how about you think about it for 2 minutes and tell me?

Serious question OP: What's it like being ******ed?

That's a pretty cool idea. The US government has definitely not ever subsidized agriculture before. Spread the word, man!

US government nationalizing the agricultural industry... what could possibly go wrong?

I just can't believe this many various people have opinions on agriculture.

GMOs are already responsible for allowing the human population to reach it's current level. see norman borlaug.

Btw,
the US already has centralized planning and subsidies to ensure food production. It also subsidizes food research.

For a little education on this, check out an actual scientist on joe rogan.

Seems free food will only lead to more people, if you are worried about saving the human civilization then we need off this planet, start a petition for that.

In the short term cutting the human birthrate by 90% and letting the olds die might help.

Food is a fundamental part of life. It's not surprising at all that people are interested in where their food comes from and what effects it may have on them.

It's not a conversation I've ever heard IRL. I guess I can see why some people would be concerned over it, but I'm not, nor do I know anyone who is.

What this thread really needs is a little RiverFenix up in hurrr to spread the truth to all you sheeple.

that man is a monster!

The majority of subsidies go to big agro companies because less than one percent of the US population works in agriculture.

Look at this I googled what perecentage of food imported in US

FDA's new import tool kit will have a huge impact on food safety given that an estimated*15 percent*of the U.S. food supply is imported, including*50 percent*of fresh fruits,*20 percent*of fresh vegetables and*80 percent*of seafood.

So considering like 80 percent of US vegetable agriculture is corn we arent really growing too much nutritious food.


Also have you guys ever thought of what would happen in an economic crises? Food prices would rise drastically and food supplies might stop all together. Having local gardens all around the states wwouldn't be bad at a time like that.

I care because I've lived in a third world country. When you see so many skinny and malnourished people on a daily basis it's very unsettling.

then you should be even more for GMO, because its currently saving millions of their lives every year

Yes food is a human right - just like the right to marry and found a family.

That doesn't mean the government is obliged to find you a wife and even to **** her for you to make her pregnant - it just means they aren't supposed to stand in your way.

Same with food.

slappy, if you are interested in personal growth i would suggest watching the episode of Homicide: Life on the Street titled "End Game". it is the 14th episode of the 3rd season and guest stars Steve Buscemi.

I'd recommend some biology and chemistry classes in that college. better for research than YouTube and Google

There should be a rule / law / whatever that says if you attack someone over their postcount on an Internet forum in an exchange on an Internet forum you auto lose and are banned from further commenting on the issue.

Alright my bad on the GMO. I just looked into for the first time in over two years. But still leaving 99 percent of our food production to a handful of corporarions isnt smart. How about you guys watch food inc.

slappy,

I would encourage you to get your facts and ideas from places that arent documentaries you watch on netflix.

If you want to bring about any truly meaningful and helpful change it needs to come through actual science and research. (which means get a degree in a relevant field, and then set about working on solving the problem). If its just left up to the masses who get their info from google searches and netflix documentaries you end up with lots of misinformed hysteria and nonsense and ignorant people like the food babe and Jenny McCarthy end up shaping the health and safety of the population.

Slappy

Take a few college environmental courses and then see how you feel. Your heart is in the right place but you are astoundingly naiive and lack any sort of fundamental knowledge or background in this field.

I worked in an entomology lab for two summers that specialized in integrated pest management and bio control mechanisms, specifically for organic farming. The project i worked on was a million dollar grant funded by the fda to essentially maximize crop yield through optimization of a combination of tilling, cover crops, soil quality, and pest dynamics. I learned a lot more than i had expected while actually working on a farm and conducting firsthand research.

People are giving you heat itt because you seem to think research is not being done or taken seriously in this field. Read actual research papers, find a few basic envisci text books, and actually teach yourself something rather than relying on the ****posting of others on the internet and social media. Anyone who actually has a background in this field will laugh at your proposed petition, and rightfully so.

bro just watch food inc

I like the idea of increasing the food supply by eliminating economies of scale. It's exactly the sort of out-of-the-box thinking that's really going to take us places.

They offer AA degrees in engineering at clown school?

AA in engineering....that made my afternoon. Thanks.

Haha just read this thread. Good stuff.

Alobar, if we met IRL I feel we would be friends.
